Strong match

Who this is for

  • A vibes or concert-pitch treble player joining a jazz ensemble
  • Directors replacing one lost or damaged part book
  • Students learning jazz reading and style within a big band

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Bb or Eb horn players, who need their own transposed edition
  • Anyone wanting the full ensemble set or conductor score
  • Solo practice — this is written as one part in a group

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

C Treble/Vibes edition

Concert-pitch treble part. Trumpet, alto and tenor players read transposed editions, so this copy will not serve them.

Detail 02

Jazz ensemble method

Built around playing in a big band, so the material assumes other parts around you rather than standing alone.

Detail 03

Mike Steinel, single author

One pedagogical approach runs through the whole book, so exercises and concepts build consistently instead of jumping around.

Detail 04

12 x 9 inch

Full part-book size. Sits open on a music stand without fighting to stay flat, and stores in a standard folder.

Detail 05

ISBN 793596300

Match this number when reordering so the section ends up with identical page numbers and rehearsal letters.

Detail 06

$15.99 per part

Priced per chair, so outfitting a full ensemble means buying each instrument's edition separately.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01This is one part book, not a full ensemble set or score
  2. 02Confirm the player's transposition before ordering — C treble is concert pitch
  3. 03Vibes players supply their own instrument and mallets

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this the whole set or just one book?

One part. The C treble/vibes edition covers a single chair; other instruments in the ensemble each need their matching edition.

02Can a trumpet player use this book?

No. Trumpet is a Bb instrument and needs the Bb edition. This one is written at concert pitch.

03Who wrote it?

Mike Steinel. The method carries a single author's approach across the book rather than compiled material from several sources.

04Will this fit in a band folder?

Yes. At 12 by 9 inches it is standard part-book size and fits normal ensemble folders and music stands.
